SECURE

Your data has value and we can give you peace of mind...

Security is an integral part of the 6000 Series. Data logging, data archiving and user access are all designed to give you peace of mind while still providing ‘ease of use’. Process data and Metadata values are continually logged to the large, internal, non-volatile FLASH memory. Records are stored in a secure, binary, check summed format to protect data integrity.

•Password controlled, electronic media flap

•Integral Audit Trail

•Specific user access permissions, configurable for each user

User Access Controls

Access to the 6000 Series instruments are controlled using an unlimited amount of unique user names and passwords. Each user can be set up with specific access rights — this not only ensures users only get access to the areas they need, it also simplifies operation as dynamic menus show only items the user can access.

Complete Traceability...

The 6000 Series has an Audit Trail and Recorded Login facility. Every time a user logs on, completes an operation or makes a change to the configura-tion this is recorded. The Audit Trail is time-stamped and incorporates the operator details along with the changes made. It is stored with the process data and cannot be modi-fied or removed.

Security Manager

Security Manager offers signifi-cant operation cost savings and ease of use by providing mainte-nance of user accounts and passwords from one or multiple locations. If a user needs to change their password they can do so on a local instrument or PC and this will be automatically distributed across all systems to which they have access.

Electronic Signatures

The 6000 Series support Electronic Signatures in accordance with 21 CFR Part 11. All user actions can be configured to require signing or signing and authorization. The ability to sign or authorize is configured on a user by user basis and incorporates signature element controls. Unique users are ensured by retiring and not deleting accounts.

•Electronic signing and authorization

•User specific access according to authority level

•Signature element controls — password expiry, minimum password length, automatic log-off, automatic disabling and notification on failed login attempts

ADAPTABLE

Adaptable features, flexible solutions... more than a box

The 6000 Series offers much more than just secure data recording. They provide many options that can be used in stand alone applications or can be easily integrated into a wider system. Adaptable functionality incorporated in the 6000 instruments will meet the most demanding of solution requirements. With their ease of use and configuration, you can be sure to maximize your return on investment.

Communications Made Easy

The 6000 Series can be a Modbus Master and Slave over both Serial and Ethernet con-nections at the same time. Slave devices can be connected to any of the ports and data recorded and made available to supervisory systems over the Ethernet network. Custom screens can be easily created to give the operator the best view of the process and easier operation of connected devices via the touch screen display.

•10/100baseT Ethernet

•Modbus master and slave

•Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

•Alarm/event notification via email/SMS

•Remote viewing, operation and configuration

•Automatic printing functionality

•Up to 12 independent Groups (effectively 12 recorders in one instrument)

•Adaptive recording to store max and min values at 8Hz-even at slower recording rates

•Simple reporting

Real-world applications

HMI functionality can be used to provide a total solution environment for secure recording and operator interface. Combining the adaptable features with ease of implementation, the 6000 Series is the first choice to provide this functionality.

BATCH

6000 Series has powerful batch func-tionality and, combined with its groups, can run up to 12 simultane-ous batches. Batches can be started and stopped independently and actions (e.g. printing a report or driv-ing a relay) triggered by the start or stop of a batch. Each batch has up to 10 fields to enter data about the batch. These can be stored or entered by the operator on batch start manu-ally or using a USB bar code scanner. Start/Stop times Elapsed Time and Field1 of all batches can be seen in the Batch Summary view.

Using the groups and the batch func-tionality the 6000 can easily be con-figured to manage multiple batches or multiple zones within a machine.

EXTENDED INPUT CAPABILITY

Each 6000 can communicate with up to 32 slave devices, providing up to 176 inputs. These process values can be divided between up to 12 different groups to provide sensible viewing and reporting of data.

Slave devices could be used for: •Additional data acquisition

•To provide operators remote access to legacy product data

•Combined recording and control functionality

STERILIZATION PROCESS

•Lethality (F0) calculation •Automatic batch start on event •Batch reporting

•Automatic, local, batch printing for ‘dirty’ side •Configurable to indicate pass/fail

USER DEFINED SCREENS

Whatever the application, the operator interface can be simplified using the Screen Builder to easily produce cus-tomized displays showing the specific process. The operator can start/stop batches, download parameters (e.g. con-trol setpoint) and enter notes to be included with process record. Screens can contain standard elements (e.g. a trend or bar graph) along with imported image files, basic shapes and buttons to drive events.

REMOTE MONITORING

Bridge software gives the user complete access to the 6000 instrument from a PC anywhere in the world with access to the local network. Security is maintained using unique user names and passwords. Recorders can be situated in remote locations and accessed when required to monitor status, access recorded data or change configuration — potentially saving a costly site visit. Combined with Master Communications the 6000 could also provide information to other local devices that would previously be unac-cessible over the network.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND STABILITY CHAMBER

Secure recording in accordance with 21 CFR Part 11, remote operation and viewing, standard maths equations and multiple alarm/event alert strategies make the 6000 ideal for environmental monitoring applications.

•Local logging capability

•Easy integration into multiple room system •Mean Kinetic Temperature (MKT) equation •Selectable stability testing period

•Selectable sampling frequency •Sophisticated alarm functionality

Get your data in the way you need it...

The 6000 Series itself provides great flexibility in its application and it is supported by a number of PC-based tools to get data to you in the way you need it.

Bridge Software

Bridge software gives complete remote access to the recorders. The software can be installed on any number of PCs and can connect to multiple recorders via a local network, dial-up connection or the Internet. Each 6000 Series instrument can have 10 concurrent, independent, remote users connected to it and viewing live data from the recorder. Ease of operator use is maintained as the displays and operation at the PC are the same as on the 6000 Series instruments. Data security is maintained with the use of specific user names and passwords.

Review and Review QuickChart

Review software acts as an efficient and secure library for data from which charts can be reviewed, printed and exported to other PC packages if required. Archive files from a 6000 Series are stored in an encrypted, binary, check summed format and Review uses this for-mat to enable chart view on a PC — ensuring integrity of both historical and new data. Review can access data from the recorder via a local network, dial-up connection, the Internet or directly from the 6000 Series’ removable media. Its Archive Management will help you to maintain growing data archives and manage files effectively.

Review QuickChart provides a very quick and simple way of viewing historical data. It recre-ates the chart on the PC — the user can then add comments if they wish and resave the chart, securing the comments. QuickChart files can be viewed independently of the recorded process data and, as such, can be simply emailed for viewing by other users.

Report Software

Report is a powerful Microsoft Excel™ add-in for use with 6000 Series secure, “UHH” files. The user can create as many templates, styles and formats as required - providing different users or departments with the exact format of the process data to best meet their needs. A number of standard templates are included with this software, which can be used as is, or modified as required.
